Honor is all set to introduce their flagship device, Honor 10, to the Indian market on May 15. Huawei has already unveiled the device in its home country last month while rest of the world is still waiting. The wait is finally over. Honor 10 is the next flagship smartphone in India by Huawei, which is going to be sold exclusively via Flipkart.

Flipkart just confirmed the launch date of the smartphone by teasing the upcoming launch on its app. The teaser says launching honor 10 with “Most beautiful flagship phone of 2018” tagline. It also says the device will launch on May 15 exclusively on Flipkart. Honor is also holding an event in London for the Europian launch on the same day.

The upcoming flagship device is expected to be launch with a price tag of 35,000 INR ($523). It is worth noting that Huawei will launch only one variant with the internal memory of 128GB in the Indian market. It seems that 64GB variant is only for the rest of the world at this point.

Huawei Honor 10: specifications and features

While the teaser hasn’t revealed anything about the device but we’re already aware of what to expect thanks to the official unveiling in China last month. Honor 10 will come with 5.84-inch IPS Full HD+ display with 19:9 aspect ratio and 1080 x 2280 resolution. It will also be sporting notch based design just like iPhone X. The notch houses the selfie camera, ambient light sensor, and the proximity sensor. This flagship device is powered by Kirin 970 chipset coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The same processor is also used in Huawei P20.

Talking about the camera, the device has dual camera setup at the back – 16MP with f/1.8 aperture + 24MP camera sensor with f/2.0 lens. The rear supports AI camera, 2x optical zoom, and 4K video recording. The front camera has 24-MP camera sensor which also supports Artificial Intelligence. The device also comes with Face Unlock support. The device is packed with 3,400 mAh battery, USB type-C, and 4.5A fast charge. Honor 10 runs on the latest version of EMUI 8.1 on top of the Android 8.1 Oreo.

Honor 10 will arrive in three different colors – Mirage Purple, Mirage Blue, Black, and Grey.

Overall, Honor 10 seems like a great flagship killer and it might compete with the likes of OnePlus 6. With great design, powerful processor, and AI capabilities, the device seems like a great choice under 30k – 40k INR budget segment.
